You must be over the age of 60.
You cannot have a spouse or cohabitant.
You cannot have parents, children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren in your home country.

You must document that you are the parent of your child. If you have the child's birth certificate, it is usually accepted. In some cases, UDI will ask you and your child to take a DNA test to confirm the relationship.

You must have one of these types of residence permits:

- a valid residence permit that forms the basis for a permanent residence permit, for example a residence permit for protection, most types of family immigration permits, or a residence permit for self-employed persons with a company in Norway. (You can check in the decision you received from the UDI whether your residence permit forms the basis for a permanent residence permit.)
